[topicmaps-comment] Re : classification is fun : dmoz search for topicmaps universe

[Bernard Vatant <bernard.vatant@mondeca.com>]

My original message has been very badly formatted. Dealing with long
category names, I forgot to copy them as links ... oops
Here they are again. Maybe the too long ones will be still cut anyway.

>> TopicMaps.org
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Knowledge_Representation/

>> OASIS
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Organizations/Standards/

>> ISO
http://dmoz.org/Business/International_Business_and_Trade/ISO/

Go figure how the three above guys can be related. No wonder they have hard
time working together :))
And now for some companies and consultants:

>> empolis (this one is really weird)
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Data_Formats/Markup_Languages/SGML/Companies/

>> Mondeca (classified twice, against all dmoz general guidelines - I plead
not guilty, I'm no more an editor)
http://dmoz.org/Reference/Knowledge_Management/Knowledge_Discovery/Informati
on_Visualization/
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Site_Management/Content_Manageme
nt/

>> Ontopia (classified once only, but OTOH closer to the top level)
http://dmoz.org/Reference/Knowledge_Management/Software_and_Tools/

>> Cogitech (Nikita seems to be an instance of data formats by itself)
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Data_Formats/Markup_Languages/XML/Consultants/

>> Infoloom and Coolheads
"No sites matching" ... Michel, Steve, you should do something about it, but
maybe you are unclassifiable after all :))

Now a side look to semantic web ...

>> semanticweb.org (at least, consistent with TopicMaps.Org - big deal !)
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Knowledge_Representation/

>> Semantic Web Working Symposium 2001 (Stanford July 2001)
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Conferences_and_Events/Pas
t_Conferences_and_Events/

>> Semantic Web Workshop (Hong-Kong May 2001)
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Computer_Science/Conferences/2001/

Go figure why what is Artificial Intelligence in Stanford is Computer
Science in Hong-Kong ...

... and last but not least ...

>> RDF (very long address, but a category by itself, with subcategories,
even way down in the 7th circle of Inferno)
http://dmoz.org/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Technica
l_Services/Cataloguing/Metadata/Resource_Description_Framework_-_RDF/

Thanks for your patience
